Help topics are meant to be help for items that aren't commands, but will
20
help bzr become fully learnable without referring to a tutorial.

Bazaar User Reference generated from online help
21
22
Limited formatting of help text is permitted to make the text useful
23
both within the reference manual (reStructuredText) and on the screen.
24
The help text should be reStructuredText with formatting kept to a
25
minimum and, in particular, no headings. The onscreen renderer applies
26
the following simple rules before rendering the text:
27
28
    1. A '::' appearing on the end of a line is replaced with ':'.
29
    2. Lines starting with a ':' have it stripped.
30
31
These rules mean that literal blocks and field lists respectively can
32
be used in the help text, producing sensible input to a manual while
33
rendering on the screen naturally.

Checkouts are source trees that are connected to a branch, so that when

you commit in the source tree, the commit goes into that branch.  They
292
allow you to use a simpler, more centralized workflow, ignoring some of

with shared repositories is very similar to working with SVN or CVS, but

doesn't have the same restrictions.  And using checkouts still allows

It is also possible to create a "lightweight" checkout by passing the
320
--lightweight flag to checkout. A lightweight checkout is even closer to an
321
SVN checkout in that it is not a first class branch, it mainly consists of the
322
working tree. This means that any history operations must query the master
323
branch, which could be slow if a network connection is involved. Also, as you
324
don't have a local branch, then you cannot commit locally.

(robertc) Introduce a pack command.
368
Repositories in Bazaar are where committed information is stored. There is
369
a repository associated with every branch.
370
371
Repositories are a form of database. Bzr will usually maintain this for
372
good performance automatically, but in some situations (e.g. when doing
373
very many commits in a short time period) you may want to ask bzr to 
374
optimise the database indices. This can be done by the 'bzr pack' command.
375
376
By default just running 'bzr init' will create a repository within the new
377
branch but it is possible to create a shared repository which allows multiple
378
branches to share their information in the same location. When a new branch is
379
created it will first look to see if there is a containing shared repository it
380
can use.
2485.1.2 by James Westby
Update with comments from review, thanks to John and Aaron.
381
382
When two branches of the same project share a repository, there is
383
generally a large space saving. For some operations (e.g. branching
384
within the repository) this translates in to a large time saving.
2401.2.1 by James Westby
Add a help topic for repositories.
385
386
To create a shared repository use the init-repository command (or the alias

387
init-repo). This command takes the location of the repository to create. This
388
means that 'bzr init-repository repo' will create a directory named 'repo',
389
which contains a shared repository. Any new branches that are created in this
390
directory will then use it for storage.

It is a good idea to create a repository whenever you might create more
393
than one branch of a project. This is true for both working areas where you
394
are doing the development, and any server areas that you use for hosting
2485.1.2 by James Westby

395
projects. In the latter case, it is common to want branches without working
396
trees. Since the files in the branch will not be edited directly there is no
397
need to use up disk space for a working tree. To create a repository in which
398
the branches will not have working trees pass the '--no-trees' option to
399
'init-repository'.

If you have a branch with a working tree that you do not want the 'remove-tree'

If you want to have a working tree on a remote machine that you push to you
